it was a joke:rolleyes:

If XJET starts expanding it's fleet and then starts hiring a lot more pilots to fly those new planes how long would it take for them to slow hiring back down?

The real question should be where are the 170/190s coming from ;)

more like when.............:p

:confused: too circumstantial my friend

SAAB...lets just say you get those 170's ;-) Do you really think XJet will give ya'll the REAL pay-raise you deserve? Or will they be like SKW and ASA, giving a couple buck premium??

Remember, you guys still have to be somewhat competitve too!

haha I bet our management would try to give us a premium, but I don't think our pilot group would go for it...............but you never know. I think it will take more airlines getting 170's to see the pay go up, thats how it works, one airline tries to out due the other when it comes to pay, but if only a few airlines have them (and are the initial operators of them) its hard to base the pay on anything. But then agian a lot of airlines have had CRJ 700/900 and the pay has only gone down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

Who are you saying would get the 170's? RAW owns pretty much all of the options on them and has the people already trained in them.

Well maybe thats just the problem...................

Can of worms! Ahhh!!
